Question

Will it hurt my dogs if I use cat Frontline Plus on them ? I have been ill and out of work and money is low. I have extra cat flea medicine and not enough for the dogs. It has the same ingedients the only difference being a slightly higher percentage of methoprene in the cat medicine.

Dear friend,

It is fine to use cat frontline on dogs as long as you do not use dog flea meds on cats.

I am so sorry your babies are troubled with fleas. You dont need any harsh products.
All you have to do is put down some Diatomaceous earth in your yard and a few pots in the house and you and your baby will never see another flea, fly, worm, etc.
Get it at a garden shop or online:

I am in Florida where fleas/bugs/worms are active 24/7/365 and it works like a charm for me.
I hope your babies get relief very fast.
Best wishes,
Terri
